I rarely write reviews but cabin is the best cabin I have ever stayed in.

It is truly amazing. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The pool, games, hot tub, TVs etc were so fun and easy to use. The cabin came fully stocked with plenty of extra supplies so we did not have to worry about packing too much or running out. The cabin was also extremely clean with so much attention to every detail. In addition to all of these benefits,  this was one of the best hosts I have ever worked with. I really appreciated the attentiveness and quick responses whenever we had questions. I was also pleasantly surprised to see how close the cabin was to the parkway. It was literally a 2 min drive out of the cabin to be at all the restaurants and activities that Pigeon Forge and Sevierville has to offer. The listing said about 10 miles from Gatlinburg but I would say more like 3-4. You cannot find a better location! There are so many cabins to choose from in the area and it can be overwhelming with all the options but look no further. Trust me when I say you will not find better; this is the place to be. Do not pass up the chance to stay here if you are visiting gatlinburg, pigeon forge, or Sevierville.

Absolutely perfect stay at Bear Cub Manor!

Our family stayed at Bear Cub Manor last weekend, and it was truly one of the best cabin experiences we’ve ever had. The cabin was super clean, beautifully decorated, and matched the photos exactly. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we appreciated that all linens were provided—including towels for the heated indoor private pool, which was such a nice touch.There was so much for everyone to enjoy—hot tub, fireplace, media room, games, beverage coolers in both the media and game rooms, and even an ice maker. The kids were over the moon about the TVs at each bunk bed—such a fun and thoughtful feature! It’s also pet-friendly, which meant our whole family could be together.Kim was an amazing host from start to finish. She responded quickly to every question and went above and beyond when a snowstorm hit during our stay. We were worried about getting out safely, and she kindly offered a super late check-out and even a very discounted extra night if we needed it. That level of care and flexibility meant so much to us!The location was perfect—close to the parkway, which made getting out easier even with the snow. We honestly didn’t mind being “snowed in” at such a cozy, well-equipped cabin. And the fully stocked coffee bar with specialty syrups was the cherry on top!We’ve stayed in many rentals, but we’ve never experienced one with so many thoughtful extras. Bear Cub Manor felt like a true home away from home,

Excellent stay.

The home was perfect for our team strategy session—exactly as described and just what we needed. The space was comfortable, well laid out, and ideal for both working and relaxing. If you plan on doing a lot of cooking, you may need a few extra kitchen items that weren’t readily on hand, but we were able to improvise without any issues. Overall, it was an amazing weekend, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Definitely looking to return back in the summer :)

Kim was an amazing host! Any questions my family had or myself Kim responded in a timely manner!  The kitchen was equipped with a lot of stuff so it made it feel like we were at home. Views are great, it’s in a perfect spot where there’s a lot to do!

I am writing to share how much we absolutely loved our stay at Bear Cub Manor.

This accommodation was truly mind-blowing, and the host went above and beyond to make our experience special. We have already started planning another visit for 2026!The home was perfect for both the kids and the adults. We spent a lot of time at the cabin enjoying the movie room, pool, and hot tub. The younger children loved the amenities and games, and we particularly enjoyed gathering at the big table each night to play Uno until we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore.We all slept amazingly well, as the beds were exceptional. We also appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and the coffee bar, which was a dream and had everything we could think of.Since it was 73 degrees during our December stay, we were able to take full advantage of the pool, lazy river, cornhole boards, and pool table. It was unexpected for the time of year but so much fun to use those outdoor amenities.We absolutely LOVED this vacation spot and will be spreading the news about this amazing getaway.

This was 10/10!!

You ever stumble upon this place and think of booking it, do it! The cabin was amazing and between everybody here, we had an amazing time. Between the pool and other amenities, it kept the kids entertained, and an overall amazing place to stay. Kim is an amazing host from communication to hospitality. I highly recommend this place and Kim as your host. If im ever this way again, id love nothing more then to book from Kim.
